No input file specified

Hi I changed my website status to Website Maintenance in the admin panel and now all of a sudden I get No input file specified, even if I switch it off. Nothing else on the site has changed.

Any help would be appreciated. Drew

No problem, I was hoping for the obvious.
Where 'Down for Maintenance: filename' would be empty, or a wrong value. But that is not the case.

Where does this "no input file" statement appear? Just accessed the site from the above address, and did not have any issues. :/

"No input file specified" usually shows up when you're running PHP-FPM and the whatever.php file your server is sending you to doesn't exist, and therefore PHP-FPM can't execute the file ... because none is available.
It's somewhat akin to PHP/Apache triggering a generic "500 Internal Error".

Typical causes:
a) the server's configuration for PHP+apache/nginx has been mangled, such as by the server administrator doing a PHP upgrade incorrectly
b) you've changed the paths in your /includes/configure.php file to point to invalid directories
c) you've accidentally renamed or drag-and-dropped folders in FTP so that they're in wrong places ... or deleted them altogether
d) you've set permissions on some files or directories that are either too permissive or too restrictive, and the server's security system is denying PHP access to those files thus triggering the error

Or, given recent hype about HTTPoxy security alarms, perhaps your hosting company has incorrectly applied a patch to the server config?

The server's PHP error logs quite probably contain the actual real details of the problem.

I can view the homepage without problem, but am not able to click any links without the message appearing

Evidently they're using a URL-rewriter.

So I missed an item from my list above:

e) URL-rewriting rules are broken or incorrectly maintained. Turn off URL-rewriting until the problem can be fixed properly.
